Happy Birthday to Dr. Linus Pauling! Today, Feb. 28, marks 125 years since the birth of the Institute’s co-founder.

On Friday, we gathered for our annual Linus Pauling Day Open House & Social to celebrate his incredible legacy and share our latest research with a full house of community and Oregon State University guests. Other highlights included:

🌎 The Legacy: LPI Director Emily Ho and OSU historian Chris Petersen (OSU Special Collections & Archives Research Center) reflected on the ongoing significance of Dr. Pauling’s dual Nobel Prize-winning work in chemistry and peace.

📖 The Stories: We got a sneak peek into Petersen’s new book, The Many Worlds of Linus Pauling. The book explores lesser-known stories about Dr. Pauling’s Oregon roots and the later experiences that shaped his global influence.

🍏 A Milestone: We also celebrated 25 years of the Micronutrient Information Center (MIC)—a global leader for evidence-based nutrition and health information, carrying Dr. Pauling’s vision forward.

There’s still time left in our 25th anniversary drive for the MIC! We are halfway to our $10,000 fundraising goal and have until Monday to close the gap. Whether it’s $5 or $500, your gift supports the rigorous work that brings this free, trusted resource to the world. Thank you!

We have one week and $7,000 to go in our drive to sustain the Institute’s Micronutrient Information Center (MIC)! 🌎

Whether it’s $5 or $500, we hope you can help us reach our goal by March 2 with a donation to: lpi.pub/MIC25

Your gift helps ensure that everyone – including the next generation of researchers and health professionals – has access to the high-quality information they need to improve human health.

As one of our users, Michael Christopher, PhD, recently shared:

"The Micronutrient Information Center (MIC) is an excellent resource I use frequently to learn about nutrition, disease, the importance of vitamins and minerals, and other related topics. …As a scientist, I appreciate MIC's factual, objective, evidence-based content. The information is presented in an easily digestible format; summaries and graphics provide quick overviews, with plenty of detail available when you want to dig into a topic further. I always feel confident in the accuracy of the information, and if any doubts arise, all sources are thoroughly cited and readily accessible for reference."

🔎 What makes nutrition information trustworthy?

The Micronutrient Information Center relies on PhD nutrition scientists to critically review evidence and bring you the latest research results.

It takes weeks of focused effort to carefully evaluate the new science on the roles of vitamins, minerals, and other dietary factors in health and disease. Only expert reviewed information is included in the content of all MIC articles.

All of this can be found online at the MIC — for free! Help support this vital resource for people around the world: lpi.pub/MIC25

Your gift to our 25th anniversary drive will fund this important work to provide trusted information you can use. Make a donation today and help us reach our goal!

We had a great time hosting the LPI’s Diet and Optimum Health Conference! It was amazing to have such esteemed speakers and engaged guests gathered together for two days at OSU's CH2M HILL Alumni Center.

From innovations in bench and data science to the challenges of communication and implementation, the presentations and discussions further inspired our shared desire to help people live longer, healthier lives.

OSU’s Patricia Valian Reser Center for the Creative Arts (PRAx) provided the perfect setting last night for celebrating the conference and the new and deepened connections among our guests. Thank you to everyone who helped make DOH 2025 a success!
